TEQ's Sustainable Sterile Barrier Solutions
At TEQ, when we see a need in the market, we work hard to develop a cost-effective solution. But we don’t stop there. We make sure our customers can use it.
In 2011, when the Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council (HPRC) released their design guidelines for optimal hospital recycling, they also highlighted the fact that hospitals produce over 5.9M tons of waste each year with very little being recycled. We knew we could do something to help.
The challenge was clear—most sterile barrier solutions consist of more than one material, and medical staff simply don’t have time to separate lids and trays for recycling. Check out the solutions we've created in response to these challenges.
